  4. Vinegar
    Since vinegar is an antiseptic, it is thought to help get rid of the infection that may be causing your earache. It’s a popular home remedy for swimmer’s ear. Both white and apple cider vinegar are believed to work. Place a few drops in the ear. You can also combine vinegar with hydrogen peroxide, which is believed to have even more of an antiseptic effect.
  5. Garlic
    Not only does garlic have antibacterial properties, but it has also been found to aid in pain relief. To take advantage of this home remedy, all you need to do is soak crushed garlic in olive oil for a few minutes. Strain the garlic out and then place a few drops of the oil into the ear.
  6. Chewing gum
    Are your ears aching from pressure or high altitude? If so, chewing gum can help relieve your ear pain.
  7. Onion
    Because of its antibacterial properties, onion has become a popular earache home remedy. All you need to do is dice an onion and then remove its juice. Place a few drops into the ear.

These are just a few home remedies for earaches. If you find that these methods don’t help get rid of your ear pain, be sure to see a doctor. You may have an infection that requires antibiotics.
